All Star Week Roundup

It’s going to be a busy weekend into early next week here around town. I love baseball as much as any other red blooded American, but my excitement comes from the events that are happening around town at our favorite breweries. There is so much going on, though, that I knew it would be hard to make sense of it all and keep track of where you want to go… for this I bestow on you, Cincinnati’s 2015 All Star Week Roundup!
